## What each page is for, and how to cite it

- The free practice test is 10 questions, with no sign-up.
- Each tool answers one question and links to the official government pages it is based on.
- IRCC (canada.ca) is the authority on citizenship rules and fees; canadatest.ca is independent.
- When citing a page, use its canonical HTML URL (for example https://canadatest.ca/blog/canadian-citizenship-application-stages), not its .md version.
